Climbing Trip!

Since winter is long gone now, climbing has taken over the summer activities. So its off to the desert we go in search of rocks!

Great free camping

First visit was Frenchman Coulee in Vantage WA. It gets hot, get up early! But there are a TON of routes, lots of bolted, some really tall too.

On the newly opened Hwy 20

Truck is super luxury climber camping…. Its really nice. We looped around across hwy 20 on the way home as it had just been opened. Great scenery.

Truck is chugging along great, its had its oil changed, fuel filters changed and gets 10mpg. All the time.

More little projects – LED storage lights and a 12V compressor.

More little things have been getting done. Just little projects as I can fit them in. We have been using the truck a lot!

First I added LED strips under the bed. It was always dark trying to find things down there. Its bright now!

Made a new switch mount for the inverter and lights. Which somehow I have backwards…. Just remember on=off….

Then I installed a 12v compressor. This is for being able to air up the bags, the tires as needed and blow up floaty toys etc. Its a 100% duty cycle Puma, with a small one gallon tank.

Strapped in place by the back door.

I wires it with marine tinned wire, and a resetable circuit breaker.

Breaker. Zip ties were trimmed!
